How Keira Knightley’s Embracing Her Inner Feminist

Keira Knightley stars in the new thriller “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” and is Harper’s Bazaar’s February cover star, where she talks about the rocky relationship between the film industry and feminism.

“I think it’s great that the discussions are finally being allowed to be had [about feminism], as opposed to anybody mentioning feminism and everybody going, ‘Oh, f—ng shut up,’” she told the magazine. The 28-year-old actress says that her recent marriage to Klaxons musician James Righton has allowed her to embrace her inner feminist, and allowed her to see things in a new light. She’s come to realize how much so many of the men in her industry come to depend on their wives—how their wives are the silent supports of the family.
